$50 so far since locals get about 50% off the regular rate.  I'd rather play more golf on less prestigious courses, though as I get better I will want to play some of the well known courses.

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

 


I'm trying to think of the most I've paid and I don't recall ever spending more than $60 or so.  I have had the opportunity to play some great courses though such as the Norman course at PGA west and the Dunes course at La Quinta Country Club but that was in high school during matches so we obviously didn't have to pay.

> $200 (about 225 or so) to play Banff Springs. I'm not too proud to say I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Wow...my average round costs me $70. For some of you guys that's a lot....

Calgary ( Canada? ) is expensive to golf in.

The States seem a lot cheaper

I paid $139 to play Luana Hills Golf Course in Hawaii while on vacation. Since it was slow, they offered me to come back and pay the resident rate of $39, which I gladly did. Huge difference between tourist/visitor and residents

Yea, I played it several times and always enjoyed it. It was nice living in the hotel across the street. Just a short walk to and from the course.

Rio Secco, Las vegas:  $140.    Totally NOT worth it.

$115 Wolf Creek, Mesquite: $115.  Worth every penny

I paid for a threesome at the Ocean Club in the Bahamas which at the time was $250 a pop back in 2004... So that set me back $750.  But I figured since I was getting married that next day, I needed to get out and hit the white ball with my best man and father.

300$ TPC @ Sawgrass. Had to go to Jacksonville for a week long conference. My boss booked me in the hilton right next to the course so I had no choice but to bring the clubs and sneak out early one day to play.


$40 Little Mountain. and it rained too, so I couldn't even pay. no damn rain check. *mumbles to self*

Once, not thinking I went to a club wearing jeans and a shirt. Ended up costing me about $200 to play that 18, including pants and a new shirt.

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
